Agatha Christie’s Summer House Welcomes Visitors

Roadtrip!

Actually, it would be more of a canoe trip. A very looooong canoe trip.

Anyhoo, the grande dame of the mystery novel, Agatha Christie, spent her summers from 1938 to 1959 at Greenway, a history-rich manor near Dartmouth in southern England. She gave the home to her daughter and grandson, who donated it to the UK’s National Trust nine years ago.

And this Saturday for the first time ever, Greenway will open its doors to we peons of the reading public. The house has been completely restored to the pristine condition it was in when Christie summered there, and the rooms remain very similar to how they were when she was in residence–filled with books, papers, chocolates, flowers.

(Did someone say chocolate?!?!? What time do they open?!?!?)

Greenway opens its doors at 10:30 Saturday morning (oh, OK), and admission is £7.45. For more information, visit the The National Trust website.

    I was just chatting with my coworker about this yesterday at Outback steak house. Don’t remember how we landed on the topic really, they brought it up. I do recall eating a wonderful steak salad with sunflower seeds on it. I digress…

    You took the words from my mouth.

Comment away, my little snarkie-pies. But please play nicely. Poopy-pants comments (spam, hate speech) will be flushed down the shitter.







      WHAT IS A SNARK?




      The Snark is a creature created by Lewis Carroll in his poem "The Hunting of the Snark". To give a proper description of Snarks, one must look no further than Carroll himself, who summed them up in one word: Unimaginable.

      But this much we do know: some have feathers, some have whiskers. Snarks sleep a lot, yet they are an ambitious lot -- with very little sense of humor. They love bathing-machines and tend to bring them wherever they go; they are also handy for striking a light. Snarks live on a far-off island, a place filled with chasms and crags, and are constantly on the lookout for Snark-hunters. Their mortal enemies are hope, care, thimbles and forks.
